The component objects are placed on the layer of the block and do not revert to their original layers. The values of any attribute objects are preserved by converting them to text objects. The exploded attributes assume the original attribute definition's layer and style. ## Command Access: > **Icon:**  > **Menu:** Express > Blocks > Explode Attributes to Text > **Ribbon:** Express > Blocks > Explode Attributes to Text > **Toolbar:** ET: Blocks Tools >Explode Attributes to Text > **Command:** BURST > **Alias:** / ## Command Prompts: ``` Select object: ``` --- [Original help](https://www.gstarcad.net/help/GstarCAD_2027_en-US/detail/GUG_ET_Blocks/Explode%20Attributes%20to%20Text.html) · © Gstarsoft Co., Ltd.
